Need help with a few Southern African birds (1 Viewer)

You need to just trust Tom on this one, Sascha

I do. Thanks a lot for your fast help, Andy, Dean and Tom! Quiet a few species which I have not heard about before. So I will look them up in more detail this evening and learn.

@Tom: How do you tell apart Wahlberg's and Tawny eagles, especially if you cannot clearly see the eye?

Much easier in flight where Wahlberg's often holds it's tail, in a very narrow, closed position, not always though!

#8 has not been ID'd I think. It's a lark, in my opinion Sabota Lark.

And I think #16 is Familiar Chat, not Chat Flycatcher - you can see a reddish cheek patch, and reddish outer tail.

[Sorry, I didn't notice the second page of the thread before replying.]
